As I grow older
I don’t get colder – I get warm inside
Although I told her
I could not hold her satisfied

She took me higher
She took me higher than I cared to go
She took me longer
Her grip was stronger than anyone I know
I want you all to know

As I get calmer
I would not harm her – I get soft inside
Do not alarm her
I ain’t no farmer from the countryside

She took me higher
She took me higher than I cared to go
She took me longer
Her grip was stronger than anyone I know
I want you all to know

As I remember
My eye is tender from the thought of you
My hope is slender
But I intend her to see me through

She took me higher
She took me higher than I cared to go
She took me longer
Her grip was stronger than anyone I know
I want you all to know
